Gweike Cloud’s confusing clearance: UK customers pay more for G2 20W

Laser engraving enthusiasts in the UK might find a “clearance sale” from Gweike Cloud less appealing than their US counterparts. The company is currently promoting a “small batch” clearance of their classic G2 20W laser engraver on Facebook for an advertised price of just $799 (£639 approx.). The promoted post explicitly states availability in the US, UK, and Japan, suggesting a tempting offer for all three regions.

However, eagle-eyed potential buyers in the UK have noticed a significant discrepancy. Despite the advertised clearance price, the same G2 20W model is listed on Gweike Cloud’s UK-facing website for $999 (£799 approx.). This represents a substantial $200 (£160 approx.) price increase for UK customers compared to the advertised US clearance price.

When questioned about this apparent price hike on their social media channels, Gweike Cloud officials reportedly responded that “the $799 model has sold out.” This explanation has left some potential UK customers feeling misled by the initial advertisement.

The Gweike G2 20W is a fiber laser engraver known for its speed and precision, capable of engraving on various materials including metals and plastics. It boasts a compact design and features like a high-speed galvanometer for fast engraving, compatibility with Lightburn software, and options for both desktop and handheld use. It typically offers a working area of 110mm x 110mm or 150mm x 150mm depending on the model, and some versions include an electric lift for adjusting the laser head.

For UK customers still interested in the G2, the machine is currently available for $999 (£799 approx.) via the provided link: https://www.gweikecloud.com/collections/g2clearance. However, the confusing messaging surrounding the clearance sale and the significant price difference compared to the US advertisement may deter some buyers. This incident serves as a reminder for UK consumers to carefully verify pricing and terms, even during advertised sales events.
